Amazon Kindle will finally support electronic books in epub format

After 15 years, Amazon will finally comply with the competition and take charge of Kindle eBooks format EBUB format used by the vast majority of online bookstores, publishers and competing services.

As with video and music formats, there are a number of different formats for electronic books. Since their release, Amazon uses its own owner format on its Kindle readers, Which means that if you buy a book outside the Amazon ecosystem and want to read it on your Kindle, You had to change the format of the file to add it.

However, as Good E-Reader has spotted it, Amazon now plans to deploy in 2022 a new update of the “Send to Kindle” application which will integrate EPUB files and convert them into a file type compatible with Kindle before to send them to your reader. This change in policy could therefore Set the biggest defect of Kindle devices: their owner format.

Kindle can accommodate electronic books bought outside Amazon

Until now, Kindle devices could not read the EPUB format. Only books in KF8/AZW3 format, or even electronic books purchased on Amazon were accepted. As a reminder, Amazon also supports files in format ” .Mobi “, that she acquired with the French company Mobipocket in 2005, The precursor of the format ” .Azw “. Kindle owners then had to so far manually convert their library of ebooks to a more suitable format to Amazon with an application like caliber, But the process was not within everyone’s reach.

Thanks to the application Send to Kindle on Android, PC, Mac, Chrome, It will therefore soon be easier than everSend your books via the email address associated with your Kindle. We imagine that such a change could allow Amazon to boost sales of his reader, who recently was entitled to new Kindle Paperbook 2021 versions with larger screens and USB-C connectors.

The update should be deployed at the end of 2022, But no specific date has yet been communicated. It will also be necessary to wait until Amazon himself confirms the arrival of such a change.
